Downtown Kingston BIA Releases Annual List of Pewter Ornaments – Kingston | The Canadian News

Downtown Kingston has announced its annual list of pewter Christmas decorations, which includes a popular patio and a famous flip chart.

Dr. Kieran Moore’s ‘easel flip chart’ was part of his regular pandemic updates, and now, it will be immortalized as a tree ornament.

“The idea for the flip chart was a tweet that someone sent to a local radio station,” says Jan MacDonald, experience director at the BIA.

“We saw that and we thought it was a really fun way to honor the health unit and Dr. Moore.”

Also on the list this year is the Kingston Lawn Bowling Club, the building on Princess Street that houses The Screening Room and Send in the Clowns.

A landmark of the queen is also on the list: Katherine Bermingham Macklem House, which is located at King and Barrie streets.

The first courtyard will be presented as a silver ornament, at Chez Piggy.

“With everything that has happened in the last two summers, there has been a real emphasis on patio dining, because it had to be that way,” says MacDonald.

“So we decided on the Chez Piggy courtyard, as it is the oldest and most iconic courtyard in the city.”

An ornament goes on sale every week starting November 15 and sells for $ 10.

To purchase an ornament, you must show a receipt for at least $ 25 spent at a downtown business to qualify.
